Captain Harlock: Dimensional Voyage (Japanese: キャプテンハーロック～次元航海～, Hepburn: Captain Harlock ~Jigen Kōkai~) is a manga series written by Leiji Matsumoto and illustrated by Kōichi Shimahoshi.
The series was launched on August 2014 in the pages of Akita Shoten‘s Champion Red magazine, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Matsumoto’s debut.
The series is a retelling of the original 1978 Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga, with some significative plot differences, and illustrated by Shimahoshi in a modernized version of Matsumoto’s classic style.

Plot
In the future, Earth is a decadent planet. With everything provided by the state, the Earth Federation, nobody works and a few rich people control everything. The willful people had left the planet, leaving behind only the decadent and the ones who don’t have money to leave. The Gaia Fleet, composed by Earth’s best warriors, had not been seen in many years, and is now dedicated to protect humankind’s new home planet, Big Earth. When the threat of the Mazon looms over Earth, only one man can protect it: Captain Harlock. While the government sees Harlock as an outlaw, others see him as Earth’s last hope.
About a year before the beginning of the story, a strange spherical object arrived from space. Dr. Daiba has repeatedly tried to warn Earth’s Prime Minister of an incoming threat, but the government is more interested in riches and pleasure than in protecting the planet. After he’s killed by the Mazon, his son Tadashi becomes frustrated by the government’s flippant attitude, landing himself in prison. Tadashi is invited aboard the battleship Arcadia, under the command of the legendary Captain Harlock. Tadashi joins its crew in their quest to protect Earth against the Mazon.
